The man behind Asterise, Bartlomiej Mezynski

International power metal band Asterise is set to release new EP ‘Twilight Opera’ on January 16th 2026. An eponymous single ‘Twilight Opera’ is released today and it’s available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/asterise-twilight-opera-single 

Bartlomiej Mezynski comments:
“With this EP, I wanted to experiment with the old-school side of rock and power metal — to capture that classic spirit but make it sound fresh and relevant today. These songs didn’t quite fit the direction of our upcoming full-length release, but I couldn’t imagine leaving them unreleased. Each track explores a slightly different style, ranging from a more rock-oriented vibe to a storytelling power metal song, highlighting the diversity of this release.

The 25-minute material represents a more experimental side of Asterise while keeping the heart and energy of true power metal. As always, the vocal performances from all singers are outstanding and bring each track to life in a unique way.” 

Track list:

  1. Twilight Opera (07:48)
  2. Eclipse (05:22)
  3. Hope (04:39)
  4. On My Way to Heaven (06:58)

Bartlomiej Mezynski comments:
“Golden Land is the third single, featuring the amazing vocals of Noah Edward Simmons and Arnaud Menard. It’s a catchy, easy-to-listen-to song, with both singers delivering great performances, hitting some impressively high notes (as you’d expect with Noah and Arnaud on the track). I wanted to blend a retro, old-school vibe in the intro with simple, catchy guitar rhythms and choruses. I hope listeners enjoy the song’s simplicity and how memorable it is.”

LISTEN to Twisted Ferryman single: https://push.fm/fl/asterise-ferryman 

Bartlomiej Mezynski comments:
“The second single, Twisted Ferryman, blends melodic riffs with neoclassical passages, while the lyrics tell the story of embarking on a new journey, sailing forward with the titular ferryman. When it comes to capturing the essence of sailing, no vocalist comes to mind more than Tristan Harders of Terra Atlantica. His voice perfectly complements the song, infusing it with a true nautical vibe. To top it off, Sozos Michael delivers irresistibly catchy choruses, culminating in a stunning a cappella duet between Tristan and Sozos. Don’t miss it!”

Bartlomiej Mezynski comments:
“I decided to go with “Into Fantasy” as first single because it perfectly captures sound of the whole album. You can hear typical Power Metal rhythm guitars, fast guitar and keyboard solos, catchy choruses but also extraordinary bridge with totally different style and feel. Arnaud Menard and Sozos Michael did amazing job with the vocals. A lot of high-pitched notes in this song. Finally, the drums were recorded by real drummer, which adds a lot to result. If you are looking for something fresh but at the same time with old school Power Metal sound – you will not be disappointed.”

Asterise is multinational Power Metal “opera” project. The project started in 2018 when Bartlomiej Mezynski and Dionysis Maniatakos joined forces to create something fresh and new, however which will also refer to the classic bands like Stratovarius, Gamma Ray or Avantasia. The lyrics are about a person being trapped between two worlds. Souls being locked between good and bad sides. It tells a little story about different states of minds. Showing a journey from being lost, being deceived by own desires, searching for home and finaly reaching the top of the world and fulfilling the destiny. While listening to the album you will experience great emotional trip thanks to a lot of slow, beautiful orchestra and piano parts. The journey starts right here.
